peony meeting and show at Queens, L. I., 

 spoke with confidence of business con- 

 ditions; he is evidently a believer in the 

 future of the peony. Mr. Merkel left on 

 the evening train to Reading, Pa., then 

 to Ithaca, N. Y., to see peony experts. 



M. Rice & Co. have increased their 

 office force and floor space by one-third. 



The three spring months have each in 

 turn been the largest business months in 

 the firm's history. 



The Andorra Nurseries, Chestnut Hill, 

 held a peony and rhododendron show last 

 week. The display, which was made in 

 the sunken garden on the hillside over- 

 looking the Wissahickon, was described 



as most beautiful by those who were 

 fortunate enough to see it. William 

 Warner Harper issued invitations by npte 

 to his friends and through the press to 

 the general public. Many visitors at- 

 tended. 



Two business men in a Lausdale train, 

 evidently residents of that prosperous 

 suburb, were heard discussing the mam- 

 moth greenhouse of the Florex Gardens, 

 and the even larger one now in course of 

 erection. "A New York enterprise," 

 one stated positively, "Philadelphia 

 can't do such things." The other 

 assented. What do you think of that, 

 Mr. Feurstenberg ? 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. will offer a sil- 

 ver bowling cup for the inter-city com- 

 petition at the Cincinnati meeting of the 

 S. A. F. This cup must be won three 

 times to become the property of any club. 



Leo Niessen says that the car strike 

 brought summer to Philadelphia two 

 weeks earlier than usual. 



William F. Kasting, of Buffalo, is a 

 visitor this week. 



The Street positively asserts that it 

 has been decided to plant sweet peas, 

 Zvolanek's winter-blooming varieties, in 

 the new mammoth house at North Wales, 

 as a curtain-raising crop, so to speak, 

 for the carnations that will follow next 

 summer. This plan is believed to be the 

 outcome of the rapid progress in the 

 building made possible when Eugene 

 Bernheimer and Henry C. Geiger both 

 put their shoulders to the wheel at once 

 and pushed. 



There is decided difference of opinion 

 regarding the spring bedding p];'nt sea- 

 son. Some of the growers did p;.«>rly at 

 Memorial day and have not caught up
